Luxury four star hotel situated above the beach which can be reached by lift.

It was King Alfonso XII who suggested that a Parador should be built at Nerja. He liked the area, particularly the promontory nearby which he called "Balcon de Europa", the balcony of Europe. As it was the King's wish, the Nerja Hotel was opened in 1930.

The entrance to the building has a splendid garden where exotic flowers bloom among the orange trees. The lush green colour of the vegetation contrasts with the blue of the swimming pool and the black and white pebbles laid in checker board fashion in the courtyards.

The sunken lounge and dining room are separated by an open sided buffet where the local painted pottery is on display. The spacious and bright interior has a high level of comfort with elegant decor.

The Parador restaurant specialises in the local dishes. The most requested are: "Fritura de pescaitos" where the literal translation is fried little fishes;
"Maimones" which is a typical soup of Andalusia with grapes;
"Pez espada a la naranja" which are swordfish steaks served in an orange sauce.

LOCATION

Parador Nerja Hotel is located on a cliff neighbouring the sea. It is an ideal setting for enjoying the many beautiful natural spots in the area, the coast and the beach which can be reached by means of using an original lift.

A visit should also be made to the "Cuevas de Nerja" which are spectacular caves re-discovered in 1959. Inside there were many remains from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras. A pathway leads you into the "Hall of Cataclysm" which is 60 metres high. Festivals of dance and music are held in this natural hall.

The town of Nerja is within walking distance for those who enjoy the exercise. It has narrow streets and interesting shops.

As elsewhere in Spain the Festivals are important in village life. Those in Nerja are : San Isidro on May 15; The Music Festival which is held in July;
with the main village festival being held in October; With the hotel garden fronting onto the Mediterranean sandy beaches this is the destination for most residents during the day. Besides swimming you can go diving, fishing, go on a boat trip, hire a pedalo or a water bike or go para gliding.
